Nitrous questions
i just installed the zex nitrous system on my 2002 mustang gt, i have the 75 jets on it right now, the first time i sprayed it was amazing car went very fast felt like i had a 2nd engine... The 2nd time i sprayed it, it felt the same. then the next day i sprayed it again and i didnt have the same kick as it did before, i didnt use much nitrous when i sprayed it the first and 2nd time, the first 2 times i sprayed maybe for 15 seconds total. I do not have a Bottle heater, or a preassure gauge... Why do you guys think this is happening is it beacuase the bottle isnt hot enough and i need more pressure? I also do not have a purge kit, so could it be beccause of the old n20 in the lines?? thanks for the help

RE: Nitrous questions
15 seconds is a long time. Did you get a full bottle? I would definitely get a nitrous pressure gauge on your bottle. Ideally, you want bottle pressure to be around 900-100lbs. Also, you want to make sure you don't have any air in the lines. I ran my last kit without a purge, but you have to self purge to get a clean, full shot.

when you self purge, do you just take the line of the n20 bottle and let all the n20 in the line spray out?

RE: Nitrous questions
Yeah, the point of a purge is to get the old nitrous out of your lines. If you don't have a purge kit, then just tap the throttle for a second or two (WOT) to get the old n20 out. Once that is done, you will have a clean shot (like Code said).
